Since March 2013 – Cloud Thinking, financed by the
Portuguese Economy Ministry under the scope of the QREN program. The project
will develop a set of tools for application to complex problem solving, and
will explore these tools in multiple application areas, resorting to an
infrastructure of cloud computing enhanced with strong capabilities of data
gathering. Key application areas considered initially are Health and
Robotics, but the project team will actively pursue other application areas,
aiming to engage other researchers during its development. The project success
can only be achieved using an integrated approach covering computational
thinking, cloud computing, advanced networking, and optimization algorithms. ·
Since March 2013 – PTDC/EEI-TEL/2016/2012 (Behavioral Modeling in Social Networks), financed by FCT. This project aims to analyze the behaviors of social
networks users in order to create usage profiles that allow the accurate
modeling of the behavior of each particular user or group of users. The
creation of these models will allow the social network itself to map each user
to a different group according to its usage profiles, allowing an easier
management of existing groups and the creation of new groups. These models
will also allow the detection of profile and behavioral model changes,
identifying accounts that have been compromised or are under the control of
potential hackers. The construction of these models will also increase the
knowledge that users have about their connections and about the social
network as a whole, being able to build a trustful relationship between each
user and the network. ·
Since November 2010 – PTDC/EIA-EIA/115988/2009 (Traffic
analysis, modelling and measurements for the

incorporates various aspects of modern Internet management such as traffic
measurements, sampling, statistical analysis and modeling, and aims at
providing better monitoring, inference, analysis and decision aid tools for
the future. More specifically, the project is comprised of the following six
tasks: 1. Dependencies between Internet flow characteristics; 2. Inference of
flow characteristics from traffic sampling; 3. Fast identification of
Internet applications; 4. Anomaly detection using robust Principal Component
Analysis; 5. QoS prediction based on network
tomography; 6. Integration of traffic awareness modules in P2P networks. ·
